So, I don't know about all of you, but I had a fantabulous Easter weekend.
I went to my college friend's house in PA, went to the Baltimore Science Center (kind of a let down), and stayed one night at his family's farm. Four-wheeling is fun. 8D
Then, since there was next to no light pollution at his farm, we went out around 11:30 at night and stargazed. It was fun times.
I now want a farm. 8D
So, brickshelf and majhost's servers are down. Too bad I can't upload the comic I've totally finished and not at all procrastinated on. Seriously though, my apologies for the lack of updating of my comics. I have not had as much time this semester to do things I enjoy as I would like (we kinda hit the ground running). I do hope to inspired soon and start working on a comic. Another thing sort of slowing me down is that I'm getting used to using GIMP, which is quite different from Photosh
I have absolutely no life to the point that I just spent the better part of my afternoon going back through my blog posts and recording the view count, reply count, and word count of all 185 entries I've made prior to this one. These are the results of my labor: All time averages: Views: 57.4 ± 45.8 Replies: 2.2 ± 2.6 (LOL) Word Count: 176 ± 242 (BIGGER LOL) Post-server upgrade averages: Views: 79.9 ± 42.6 Replies: 2.58 ± 3.01 (LOL again) Word Count: 198 ± 292 (BIGGER LOL again) Largest st
As I sit here late at night waiting to see Jay Leno's pick of the weekly Headlines (cruddy Wimbledon ¬_¬) I decided to write a blogthing entry.
I do have a good idea for a new comic, but I'm afraid my attention span must lengthen itself so I may be able to create the blasted comic. You guys should enjoy it, though.
And lastly, crabadonk!
Ah, two football games. We're 1-1, and the marching band is 2-0.
Our show owned. I greatly prefered the first game to the second, because I personally did better that game. But, both were excellent.
If you're wondering, I am one of two senior trumpets in my high school marching band. And I'm the loudest one. ~shoots ego~
My ego did get the better of me the other day, and I said something I shouldn't have. But, I think my section forgives me for that. >>;;
Also, today I pla
Well, I've been through one week of band camp. My lips are exhausted due to all the playing. Marching I don't really care about, that doesn't exhaust me. The playing is what gets me.
Why, you ask?
...I'm literally the loudest trumpet player in the band...and, no, that isn't ego talking, as much as it may sound that way... >>;;
Thus my lips were killing me. By midday Friday my lips had the shapes of my teeth engraved into the inside of them. Perhaps that clears all that up.
So, today was the first official day of school at my grad school, but I didn't have any classes. Today was lab orientation for Monday and Tuesday lab sections (since we had yesterday off). Having nearly 50 students crammed into a room only able to seat 32 is rather entertaining. Also, I have a talk to give on Friday on my research I did over the summer. This wouldn't be so much of an issue if I knew which part of the research to discuss, as I worked with two undergrads, and we have to split
I was just at another competition, and I placed second in Entomology! I'm back on top!
"But, Akano, second isn't on top. It's next to on top!"
Yes, but the people I lost to were from the team whose coach wrote the test!
The test was completely biased too. Who needs to know famous entomologists for an event in which you identify and cover basic knowledge on insects? Entomologists are people, not insects!
That aside, my weekend's been great, and I get tomorrow off due to President'
SUCH A CATCHY SONG ZOMG!! Also, the CMC were very adorable in that episode. (I watched it the other day, but just listened to the song for about the fifth time.) EDIT: Also, apparently typing in darkgoldenrod as your font color doesn't work anymore.
As brothers tend to do, KK and I spent our Saturday evening watching a cartoon about brothers navigating an unfamiliar world simply trying to get home. Over the Garden Wall is a brilliant miniseries, and if you haven't seen it, you should. The story is captivating, mysterious, and makes you ask all sorts of questions to the very end. The animation is beautiful (similar but different to Gravity Falls), the characters are incredibly fun and interesting, and the plot doesn't necessarily progress th
I went for a couple walks yesterday and today, and everything feels perfect. The air is crisp, the hoodie/jeans combo is perfectly comfortable, and the smell of fallen leaves permeates everywhere. Now if only all the trees decided to finally change color to match the rest of the mood.
I am currently unable to upload photos to Brickshelf, and I'm not sure why. I'm trying to upload a .zip file of pics I want to use for a review, but after a long time of "uploading," the folder I attempt to upload to is empty. I tried doing one photo at a time, but that's failing as well. Anyone else experiencing this?
Today, the yellow Toa of Electricity you all know and love takes a step towards a journey he has not encountered before and leaves an old journey behind to be remembered for the rest of his life. I exit the decade of teenage, and enter my twenties.
Today is my twentieth birthday!
And yet, I don't feel too different. I think the change from one age to the next doesn't immediately happen on someone's birthday, but over time takes effect. Or I'll just stay the random jokester I've always b
Well, I figure that since January's coming to a close, I should probably update this thing. Earlier this month, I went to our Science Olympiad scrimmage and helped out by running an event, which was fun. I got to see old friends and had fun watching eggs splatter as they hit the floor. I also have just recently been brushing up on some dollar bill origami, some of which you can see here. My parents bought me a book called "Hawaiian-Style Money Folds" which has some pretty sweet money origam
I got back from a concert a couple hours ago, this time our "winter" concert. Yes, we just had a Christmas concert, but we played completely new songs. Our Jazz band, Symphonic band, and Wind Ensemble played at the concert, and it wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. I had a numerous amount of solos, and people told me I played them pretty well. ^^;
Also, new comic up, based on the premier of 24, the most amazing TV show ever! ^^
I'm also trying to come up with a new comic idea
For those of you who haven't read my latest comic, four days ago marked Akano's Comics' fourth year anniversary. For any topic on BZPower, that is an amazing feat, and I hope the topic will have a few more years in the running.
Also, thanks to those who read my new chapter. You can still post in the review topic since topic revival is allowed in the Epics forum so long as your posts are on topic.
I am the worst blogger ever. XD
Anywhosit, since I last posted it's been at least two months, and in that time, Christmas break drew to a close and I'm now in the middle of my fourth semester at college. Yayz.
It's amazing how fast college is going. Another two years and I'll be on my last semester. There's a scary thought. What's even scarier is that I was looking at a friend's LEGO magazine today, and it hit me that over a decade has gone by since my most favorite LEGO theme, the Adv
